The Custer CHRONICLE takes our coun.
ty commissioners to task for Disregard
ing the application of the clerk of the
court Of that county for a certified
statement of our assessed valuation,
upon which our proportion of the court
expenses is based. 1t is right that they
should be censured. This is a debt that
should be paid, should have been paid
long ago, although for two years after
segregation from Custer county we did
not know whether we were to be at
tached to Custer county for judicial
purposes or to have sessions of the court
ourselves. Although the amount we
are charged with will have to be paid it
seems unjust that we should have to
pay it when a session of court never
was held in the county. We do not
uphold u commissioners in this
matter, for as in many others they could
have saved money to the county by
looking more to the interest of the
county. The running expenses or our
county have been constantly increasing
since the first year Of our organization,
when it was $l,400, to twenty-seven
hundred the second year, and is still
increasing, and the people Of the south
ern portion of the county derive no
benefit from it, with the exception of
two bridges, costing about S565, but
have to pay for it all the same.-Oelrichs
Times.

Reports from Douglas, Wyoming,
dubbed in its infancy, "the future
great" indicate extremely duh times,
and a general exodus from hat over
doomed locality. The glittering great
ness which was expected to have long
ago settled down upon the place, is now
believed to be too far in the future to
benefit the present generation. Hence
their disposition to seek more favored
points where booms. unlike their own,
have survived the incipient stage.

The Uncle Sam as controlled by par,
ties in New York, is very much of a
sphynx, and much would be given in
this locality for a little enlightenment.
Very little is known Of the pass save in
a general way, and nothing whatever OF
the future. DR.. Harding, in New York
for weeks, was unable to obtain infor-
nation, and no one here is in position
to disseminate knowledge. The mine is
one of the most valuable in the country;
of this there is no doubt whatever. and
yet it is permitted TO remain flooded
and its handsome mill and other ma
chinery to rust with disuse. Strong
suspicion of freeze-out exists, and vet
it hardly seems likely that such de-
structive and expensive methods would
be employed.-Deadwood Times.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Aug. General A.
w. Doniphan, one of the most promi-
nent attorneys of this state, died at his
home in Richmond, Mo, at 9:45 o'clock
this evening, after an illness Of ten days.
His demise was simply the closing of
the working Of the machinery of life,
which has been overactive, and cannot
be attributed to any disease. He was
conscious Of the end up to the last
moment, and died very peacefully.
During the last hours he manifested the
same fortitude that has marked his
%eventful career, and died in the hope of
meeting his friends in that better land
beyond. General Doniphan was born
in Mason county, Kentucky. July 8,
1908.

The Literary Club.

Mr.. +. Il. Gary read an entertaining and In.
structive paper before the Literary Club last
Friday night at the house of :. c. Cason, Esq.
His subject was. the "Rclision and Philoso-
ply of Confucius."
The essayist after commenting at some
length upon the influence of the Chinese
scholar, whose personality, though Imperfect
" revealed in the existing sources of inform.
alton, could not but appear the holiest and
gentlest, with one exception, in the history of
thought, then proceeded 10 review the life OF
Confucius, from his birth to his death. he
then reviewed In a concise and logical man
ner, why the religion of Confuclus had been
q failure assigning us reason for the failure,
the fact that he did not appeal to mau's In
finite Aspirations. He did not address the
soul from lis highest thought: He taught
nothing Of the Unsecn-thc Divine.
The essayist concluded by expressing the ne
lief that If ever the Chinese people should pc
Christianized, the dawn of that event may be
found far back in the humane words, the self.
devoting life, and the discouraged death OF
the simple Chinese scholar.
The essay ELECTED debate and has been most
pleasantly spoken of by those who heard 1t.
